BOCA RATON, FL, April 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corp. (NASDAQ:DFDV) (the "Company" or "DeFi Dev Corp."), the first US public company with a treasury strategy built to accumulate and compound Solana ("SOL"), today confirmed that it has no exposure to the Drift Protocol and was not impacted by an alleged exploit affecting the platform.

While DFDV actively allocates a portion of its balance sheet to onchain strategies to generate organic yield, all capital allocation is conducted under a disciplined risk management framework focused on preserving shareholder value and maintaining operational resilience.

On April 1, 2026, Drift Protocol appeared to have a significant exploit involving the unauthorized transfer of digital assets. Public blockchain data indicates that a newly created address received a series of large transfers. The exploiter appears to have then begun converting these assets into USDC and bridging funds to Ethereum, where a portion has been used to acquire ETH.

DFDV confirms that it does not currently utilize Drift Protocol for treasury operations or yield generation strategies, and therefore has zero direct or indirect exposure to the affected platform.
